Yoshitaka Yazu : "umbra"
Takuro Someya Contemporary Art is pleased to announce the upcoming solo exhibition “umbra” featuring works by Yazu Yoshitaka. Yazu Yoshitaka was born in 1980 in Osaka and graduated from the Kyoto City University of Arts with a degree in sculpture in 2004. As one of the core members of the artist group Antenna during his student days he became involved in the various fields of project planning, film, 3D sculpture, and painting. He left Antenna in 2007 and began his solo career with the exhibition“Cosmos – Service – Home” in September of that year. Using the mediums of sculpture, painting, photography, and installation, Yazu explores the universal theme of “sensing God”, common among humans of all races and ethnicities, and experiments with the expression of “God” as it exists within the contemporary notion of common sense. Past exhibitions include “Holy and Common” (TSCA) and “THE CORONA” (Art Space Niji). read more |
